Adding solid geometry: Sweeps

Adding solid geometry: Sweeps

- [Instructor] In this video we're going to continue creating solid geometry to represent our pool table. And we're going to move on to a sweep and that's going to form the shape of the bumper rail that goes around the playing surface. Now a sweep is a solid form that follows a path. So if you hover over any of these solid form tools and let the tool tip load you'll see a small animation and that animation will kind of show you the way that tool functions. So in the case of the sweep you can see they're creating a path and then they're taking some shape and moving it along that path. And that's what we're going to be doing to create this bumper rail geometry that goes around our pool table. Now I'm going to work in the ref level floor plan. I'm going to zoom in nice and close and then I want to make sure that the geometry I'm building references the reference planes and not the extrusion. The easiest way to ensure that is…
